Chris Wiggins has a bike shop in Indianapolis, website and a YouTube channel, all with the name The Psychic Derailleur.  I'm a big fan of his content and his message.  He is a Rivendell dealer and he puts out some great content on his YouTube channel.  His latest video is titled "The Rise of Rivendell?".  It is worth a look, as are the rest of the videos on his channel, IMHO.

I too subscribe to the Psychic Derailleur channel & find it fun & informative.  In a recent video he thanked his subscribers & said he thinks he has the nicest comments section on youtube.  He's big on practical cycling & reviews bags, bikes, etc.  Puts out a couple of videos a week, usually less than 10 minutes & he stays focused on the topic of the day.  Great guy.

This is very timely for me since I just bought a 57 Appaloosa from Chris a few days ago (possibly the last one available anywhere.) I'm a long time Riv customer but this is my first Riv bike. Maybe we are seeing a cultural change in how people use bikes in this country? We can only hope I guess. I had no idea that Chris has a YouTube channel, I'm looking forward to seeing what other ideas he has to share.

That's where I bought my Rivendell too! Truly the best bike shop in Indianapolis. He's incredibly knowledgeable, and I too watch his YouTube channel.

I bought my Sam there last summer, last one he had, orange although at the time I would have preferred black.  I did not want to wait for Rivs next delivery and no guaranty I would get one.  Great bike, fast shipping and good deal.

Ha! I bought my Sam there in the fall of 2019, last one he had, black although at the time I would have preferred orange. Chris was super helpful in shipping the frame to Canada.

I’m liking the orange more and more.  Mine’s a 51 I bet Mark’s is larger.

Trade my Sam? Never! I'm pretty sure my next bike will be orange, but the tuxedo Sam has turned out to be perfect for me. Then again, those sage Sams still look great, and the RBW blue one does too, so really I think the lesson here is that there's no "bad" color for a Sam Hillborne.
